It can provide opportunities to gain 'hands on' experience and contribute to current research projects, working, for example, with theÊCentre for Evaluation and Monitoring (CEM).

The programme is suited to those hoping to later pursue a research degree (usually PhD) but who do not meet the research methods training entry requirements, as well as those who wish to apply for anÊEconomic and Social Research Council (ESRC)Êstudentship, as the programme is recognised by the ESRC for 1+3 funding.

The programme is a Faculty-wide course and modules are taught within the School of Education, the School of Applied Social Sciences (Sociology) and the Department of Psychology. This provides you withÊthe opportunity to come into contact with other students studying research methods in different disciplines across the Social Sciences.
